THE AMATEUR’S FLOWER GARDEN.

jffigilojos cylindrical a stiff, quaint, and not inelegant grass, 
which conies in well for bouquets. 
Lepturus subulatus , a wiry backbone sort of grass that 
will make any one laugh who sees it for the first time. 
GROUP or ORNAMENTAL GRASSES. 
JBroqms brizceformus, a minute grass of the most exqui¬ 
sitely graceful construction. It is a genuine candidate for 
complete seclusion in fairyland; such a sordid world as this 
does not deserve to behold its beauty. 
The mixed border will supply a few good flowers for dry¬ 
ing, such as the hardy statices and gypsophilas, and it is an 
easy matter to dry the flowers of double geraniums so as to 
preserve their brilliant colours in perfection.
